I support Mexican travel vouchers as a stimulus package, usable in the country of Mexico by receipt.

$1,000 travel vouchers to every family now

Must spend the money in Mexico with receipt

Cabo San Lucas, Cancun anybody?

 Got to preserve our go to North American spots!

Or you can call these sanctions on the GOP, for dangerous Latino rhetoric the last 5 years.
This could also be the cultural learning experience that the GOP truly is calling for regarding their calls of unity ;)
GOP, put your money where your mouth is and give us $1,000 stimulus packages to Mexico!! If you truly want, unity.
Vouchers accepted in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican republic, Jamaica, and Hawaii.

Florida travel ban, NOW
These sanctions would in effect be a sanction for the state of Florida, some of the most depraved GOP sinister evil racist politicians.
And that ladies and gentlemen, is how you get rid of Matt Gaetz, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis. This is how you truly threaten the year 2022, and further the Senate lead. Positioning for 2024.

I would also hereby sanction the state of Texas.

To punish Ted Cruz

CC @BetoORourke

BCC @tedcruz
The stimulus package would require that no connecting flights can connect in the states of Texas or Florida.

None of the stimulus money can be spent in those states at all.

This is how you put guys like Rick Scott and Ted Cruz in check.

You have to hit them where it hurts
$
These sanctions would in effect, turn the states of Texas and Florida blue in 2024.

I propose this bill by the likes of the following politicians:

@BernieSanders
@AOC
@Hickenlooper
@SenatorBennet
@RepPerlmutter

I ask, as your constituent, please begin to draft the bill📄
This would also lift the airline industry organically, without huge bailouts to GOP stockholders, of the said airline industry.

This will help in the deficit, paying for itself upon completion.

Hear me out:
Money would have to be spent under the rule of the special stimuli
1/3 of that money would go directly back into the airline industry.

then we can take the money that we were going to give the airline industry and put that in the pockets of small business owners

Small business must consist of shops getting a prorate of share based on employees
Shop owners with employees of three or less would receive a high-grade prorate share of the small business stimulus.

4 to 9 employees would be the next slot
at #2

#3, 10 employees to 24 employees

#4 25 employees to 100

The bill would place a tax burden on companies with 100+
The bill would penalize those companies which were caught lowering their employee threshold in order to get the stimuli

Taxes for companies with 1,000 employees or more will go very high

Taxes for companies with 2,500 employees or more will go extremely high

5,000, taxed 2 🌛
That's right, taxed to the moon.

I would call this the Unity Appreciation Culture bill, or #UAC

I bet Microsoft and Bill Gates would also sponsor a relief package, stimulated directly into this bill

CC @BillGates @Microsoft @gatesfoundation
@melindagates
It's time to call out the militarized companies during the pandemic and not give them any more money

At last count I heard the military budget was $778 billion dollars during the pandemic

therefore militarized companies which are building weapons of warfare should not be bailed
Why would USA spend $778 billion on the military during a pandemic?

Therefore the UAC bill should have no bailout for companies such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, etc

Boeing would in effect be okay, not by any more bailout money but by the UAC bill

#UAC bill now, please
In order to use the money you would have to present vaccination paperwork, have the antibodies in a negative antibody test, and obviously be covid negative.

They said for so long that Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

I intend for ideas to tear down that virtual wall
People need to get out of their houses

This generates economy with pet sitters, rental car companies, gig economy services, and ultimately pays back to the service industry of people of color.

Travel abroad, change your mind. Travel to the second world, venture to 3rd World
Traveling internationally has mental and psychological benefits. Our children need to get out of the USA in order to understand it better from a larger microscope.

Attached to this bill, could be a conjunction with the department of education. children can learn!
The child's normal classwork would be exempt, provided a report and a collage and a study is presented to the classroom upon return. The teacher could simply announce that "Joe or Jim is out for this week in Mexico", "and today we are going to learn about the Aztec and Mayans"
getting folks out of the house who have the antibodies present in their system or the vaccination is very good for society in whole. There is too much covid shaming and covid stigma. These antibodies should populate, or dare I say, repopulate the Earth.
I would be in favor of creating a bill regarding covid, or tucking it into this #UAC bill, which prevents any further bills having unrelated pandemic bills attached.... In other words, It benefits no one for Raytheon to get stimulus alongside a people's bill, and is unrelated
Any bill which is unrelated to the pandemic should not be voted on in the next two years.

Stimulate the health industry
Stimulate the car industry

Because folks need cars to drive to the hospital.

We just don't need a tomahawk missile right now, completely ineffective.
#UNITYAPPRECIATINGCULTURE #UAC

@AOC,

DO YOU SUPPORT#UAC ?

Let's hit Ted Cruz and Rick Scott where it hurts.

🤔 Thread: More of the wrong thing is less
(or, how I stepped off the hamster wheel)

I’m going to share a personal story with hope that it inspires at least one person to re-examine their definition of success 👇

Through hard work and an unfair share of luck, I’ve done some cool “bucket list” things in my career:

✅Raised VC from the worlds’ top firms
✅Helped build 100’s of millions in revenue from nothing
✅Rang the bell at the NYSE
✅Met & did deals with billionaires & business icons

These are things I dreamed about when I was young and I treasure some of the memories. But when they finally happened I felt surprisingly unfulfilled. I was scoring lots of points but didn’t feel like I was winning.

Then a few years ago during a board meeting I had a moment of clarity. I looked around the table at 10 people, all absurdly successful by financial measures. There wasn’t a single person I wanted to emulate. Most were unhealthy and several had told me that they were unhappy.

Within months I walked away from from a 7-figure salary, moved my family to Boulder, & haven’t looked back. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a capitalist & like money as much as anyone. But for me it's not the thing, and *more of the wrong thing is less*.

The most memorable interview I did this year was w/ Stanley Druckenmiller, who famously made $1B shorting the British Pound.

The trading legend's track record includes a 30-year stretch returning 30%+ a year (without a single down year).

Here are 8 investing lessons🧵

1/ Make concentrated bets in high conviction plays


2/ Concentrated bets can sometimes *reduce* risk


3/ Use a multi-disciplinary approach to investing


4/ Know when to sell (he never uses a stop loss)

Terry Smith is often referred to as "the English Warren Buffett".

He runs Fundsmith which has a fund size of £27.9bn.

Despite the size, Fundsmith did a CAGR of 18.4%.

In his book Investing for Growth, he explains his investing philosophy.

Here's a breakdown:


1. Fundsmith's winning formula

Find companies that focus on delivering value.

Not those who are looking to pacify Wall Street with short-term results.


2. Avoiding "cheap" companies?

Low multiples are not a reason to buy a company.

A ship will continue to sink if it has a hole in it.

"A stock may have a low valuation but an even lower intrinsic value. Buying such a stock is not a recipe for investment success."


3. Getting quality right

For long-term investors, getting the quality of the business is more important than the valuation.

“An investor could have paid 281 times earnings for L’Oréal, 156 times for Colgate, and 147 times for Brown-Forman and still beat the market.”


4. "Unprofitable" companies could be good investments

Many of the best companies don't show earnings today.

But that's because they're heavily reinvesting for the future.

It's just that the earnings hasn't show up.

Ok here is the explanation. Grab a cup of coffee and read on. If you have not read/noticed this, you will see intraday options movement in a new light.


Say we have two options, one 50 delta ATM options and another 30 delta OTM option. Normally for a 100 point move, the ATM option will move 50 points and the OTM option will move 30 points. But in a high volatile environment, the OTM option will also move nearly 50 points

To understand why this happens, first understand why an ATM option is 50 delta. An ATM option has the probability of 50% of expiring as ITM. The price just has to close a rupee above the strike for the CE to be ITM and vice versa for PEs

Now think of a highly volatile day like today. If someone is asked where the BNF will close for the day or expiry, no one can answer. BNF can close freakin anywhere, That makes every option of an equal probability of being ITM. So all options have a 50% probability of being ITM

Hence, when a huge volatile move starts, all OTM options behave like ATM options. This phenomenon was first observed in the Black Monday crash of 1987 at Wall Street, which also gave rise to the volatility skew/smirk

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to


Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.

(MAJOR NOTE) The reason Manafort took over Trump's campaign in just 3 weeks despite being hired as a mere delegate counter is that ROGER STONE initiated a whisper campaign against Corey Lewandowski. That campaign started...days after Manafort returned from meeting with WikiLeaks.

2/ Stone and Manafort are longtime business partners; we'd expect Manafort to tell Stone what Assange told him, and for him to expect Stone to then pressure the campaign not only to hire him but quickly elevate him.

And who was Stone in touch with at the campaign? Trump himself.

3/ I bet you Manafort's late March emails are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime business associate Roger Stone. And I bet Roger Stone's late March phone calls are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime friend Donald Trump.

4/ At the end of March 2016, Trump suddenly convenes a NatSec meeting. At that meeting he directs his NatSec team to change the RNC platform in July to benefit Putin. Who later takes credit for that change?

Paul Manafort's business associate, Kremlin agent Konstantin Kilimnick.

5/ Why did Donald Trump suddenly convene a NatSec meeting 3 days after he finally hired Manafort? Why did he issue a pro-Kremlin directive at that meeting that Manafort's camp would later take credit for? What did Manafort tell Trump in the days leading up to that NatSec meeting?

SRI KUMARIAMMAN, KANYAKUMARI (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

Created by Maharshi Parasurama and also one among the 108 Shakthi Peethas in the world. The name Kanyakumari stands for Kanya(Virgin) and Kumari(girl).
Devi took this form to vanquish the demon Banasura
@GunduHuDuGa


Once, Banasura(grand son of Mahabali) obtained a boon from Shiva that he could be vanquished only by a virgin.
So, Devi took the form of a kumari and started meditating with the desire to marry Shiva at Suchindram.
Pleased Shiva fixed the midnight hour for marriage with Devi.


Devarshi Narada knew that the marriage would end the chance of killing Banasura. So, he assumed the form of a cock and crowed. Shiva returned back to Suchindram thinking that it was dawn.
Angered, Devi cursed that all food and articles meant for wedding turn into sand and shells


When Banasura heard about Devi’s beauty, he tried to take her by force. Devi, then, killed him and granted the wish of Devas to remain there always protecting them.
The murti of Devi stands with a rosary in hand. Her diamond nose-ring is said to be visible even from the sea.


Once an ancient mariner mistook it for a lighthouse and sailing towards it, his ship wrecked upon the Kanya Kumari rocks. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, the eastern door of the shrine is opened only on five special occasions throughout the year.

Sri Devi Karumariamman mandir, Chennai, Tamilnadu

Sri Devi Karumariamman mandir is in Thiruverkadu, a suburb of Chennai. It is said that God Muruga came here and obtained the 'Vel' (spear) from His mother, Goddess Karumari (an avatar of Parvathi) 1/n


to fight the demon Suran and hence this place was called as 'Vel kadu' and became as Verkadu. As per legend Devi Karumariamman once disguised as a soothsayer visited Bhagwan Surya, the Sun God, to predict His future. 2/n


Not realising that the soothsayer is none other than Sakthi Matha, Surya ignored Her. Angered by his indifference, Devi Karumariamman immediately retreated. Bhagwan Surya lost His glory and the earth plunged into darkness. 3/n


Bhagwan Surya then realised His folly and pleaded forgiveness from Devi Karumariamman. In order to pacify mother Karumariamman, Suryadev said that His rays would fall on Her directly twice in a year and touch her feet. (in the month of Panguni (March- April) & during (Sep - Oct)


Mother Karumari Amman is worshipped here in two forms.A swayambu (self manifested) with only head visible above the ground and another one in a graceful sitting posture with all Parasakthi features,with four arms holding skull, sword, trishul, udukkai (damru). 5/n
